Among the Calendar Show's exciting world premiers this year will be the newly reborn 1937 Crocker Motorcycle (shown here). Re-engineered and produced today by new trademark holder Michael Schacht of Crocker Motorcycle Company, Torrance, CA, this new production bike is built to the original bike designs and is now available for sale. It's a true replica of the original mid 1930s high performance Crocker V-twin machines of which only 200 were built. At the time the new Crocker touring bike with its overhead valve V-twin engine was the most powerful production motorcycle in America. Today a well restored Crocker is worth around $350,000. The reborn Crocker retains all the design details of the original, but now with modern quality materials and tolerances, and offered at a price that more enthusiasts can afford.

The Show's other activities include the Calendar Bike Building Championship, selected Vendors and Exhibitors, with Calendar Girl Music live performances featuring the Japanese girl rock band Nylon Pink, singer songwriters Rachel McGoye and Marina V.
